I am going to cut on the diagonal next time, but it does use more fabric to do it that way. I did a couple of hst using the sq. ruler on the diagonal and the results are great. I just have not figured out yet how much more fabric I will need to do it that way.

I'm not sure I understand the left over strips. I was experimenting tonight and sewed around an 8" block. When I cut the square on the diagonal, I had four hst that trimmed down to 5". This went very quickly and was accurate.
